Nominated as 'Perrier Award' Newcomer in 2003 and honored with the 'Chortle Comedy Award' for Breakthrough Act in 2004, Horne studied Classics at Cambridge University. Asked about his most recent show, he comments, "I'm on a mission to keep Latin alive and get some use from a degree which everyone told me would be useless." Click here for Alex Horne's website.
